CSU Staff Senate

On October 3, 2025, the Cleveland State University Board of Trustees officially approved the resolution for the former Staff Association to officially become a Staff Senate.

The Staff Senate is the representative body for professional staff members of Cleveland State University as defined in rule 3344-61-01 of the Administrative Code, and non-bargaining classified employees of Cleveland State University as described in rule 3344-63-01 of the Administrative Code. 

Cleveland State University Staff Senate is an advisory body created to advocate for matters of interest to staff, and to make recommendations to the president and senior university leadership regarding such matters. The staff senate shall act in an advisory capacity only, except when specifically authorized in writing by the university administration or by university policy to perform other functions.

Our belief to work consistently with University administration and human resources on staff senate challenges and opportunities, while supporting leadership, networking, and professional growth opportunities for staff senate general members will help push the University forward.
